Do you know where you bought it? Was it a kit? I would like some of every fabric pictured as I have to make 2 more blocks and all the 2" squares for the top. So, I'm not picky with what I can find!

The woman who started this quilt did beautiful work and I hope I can do her proud by finishing it. This probably is the easiest or best applique quilt to pick as my first needle turn project. But, so far so good. I've finished 2 of her blocks and am on the third and I think they look nice.

It took about a year for me to find the fabric. I have 99% of it and will be willing to share with you after the holidays. I think there are almost 500 2 inch squares. And which blocks do you need to make?

Thanks for helping me. I need to make the block with a book on it, the 3 leaves block and one of the pieced blocks. Plus, I need to find enough coordinating fabric for the 2" blocks. I'm most concerned on matching the 3 main blocks. The 2" sashing blocks I can probably get away with getting different fabric for.

How far are you in the project?

Most of the fabrics are thimbleberries if you try ebay some might be listed. I don't have any left but they are about 7-10 years old I believe

I have the green fabric in the third picture; the piece I have is 23" x 12". You are welcome to it. Just pm me your address.
The selvage says "Paint Box Prints by Thimbleberries for RJR Fashion Fabrics. maybe that will help you locate some of the others.

I've looked, but putting "Thimbleberries" fabric in Google or ebay gets me hundreds if thousands of hits. I hope folks will see these, recognize them in their stash and want to sell or trade them to me:>

I think I have the dark green in the last picture, last on right. How much do you need? I may also have some of the background floral print fabric in 1st pictures.
